Checking the connection to the Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl
Once the network has been set up on your PC, you can check whether the PC is correctly
connected to the Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl. This can be done as follows:
ì
Open Command prompt . To do this, click Start – Programs – Command prompt .
ì
Enter the command
ping 192.168.2.1
.
The
ping
command sends data packets to the Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl with the speci-
fied IP address and checks whether the router responds. If this is the case, the command
presents statistics about the connection, for example how many data packets were sent,
how many received, how long the transfer took, etc. If you can see this information,
then the connection to the router is functioning properly.
If the command does not return any statistics, but ends with a time-out, this means that
the components cannot communicate with each other. Check the following points:
1. Is the Ethernet cable between the Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl and the PC properly con-
nected or is there a wireless connection via a wireless network adapter?
The LED display for the LAN connections on the Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl and link
display for the network card in your PC must be illuminated. For wireless connec-
tions the Gigaset WLAN Adapter Monitor must display connection information.
2. Has TCP/IP been properly configured on your PC?
If the Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl has the IP address 192.168.2.1, your PC's IP address
must be between 192.168.2.2 and 192.168.2.254. The default gateway must have
the address 192.168.2.1.
If you can successfully address the Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl with the
ping
command,
then the PC has been configured correctly.
Please remember:
If the IP address of the Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl has been changed, enter the new
IP address.
